Hemed to Reading?

[perseus]

50% chance of scoring per 90 minutes.

nearly one in three were penalties.

In 2015-16 his six headed goals out of 17 was a good tally.

It all depends on the TYPE of striker we will be buying. If it's a nippy one then we need Hemed in the squad and I think he'll do just fine

If we end up buying another big lump, then I'd expect 12 million for Hemed or about 6 for Murray. Whichever we got a full whack deal for first could go as don't need both on the bench. But well we need that starting lump in first else all moot....... 4 million is a complete joke for a Champ striker these days. You'd pay more than that for a top league 1 one sadly

cf Ulloa

40% chance of scoring and 5 out of 14 wth his head in he Championship, not including allowed and disallowed goals against Arsenal. But no penalties so Ulloa's record was better.

Naylor Says No.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Wouldn't like to see Hemed go tbh.

He was mustard when given the chance last season..
The competition with Murray definitely fired him on and that is a very encouraging sign.
Top professional - deserves his chance in the Prem.

+ 4 million? to Reading??
**** off!

Second striker/false number 9 seems to be the type of striker we need. Quicker and stronger version of Baldock.

otherwise a mobile forward with good technical ability (dribbling and ball control), who can both score and create opportunities for a less versatile centre-forward,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_(association_football)#Second_striker

The false 9, in some ways similar to a more advanced attacking midfielder/playmaker role, is an unconventional lone striker or centre-forward, who drops deep into midfield. The purpose of this is that it creates a problem for opposing centre-backs who can either follow him, leaving space behind them for onrushing midfielders, forwards or wingers to exploit, or leaving him to have time and space to dribble or pick out a pass.

I could even see Tomer Hemed starting against Man City as the lone striker.

Limited chances created, as opposed to limited chances to PLAY.

This was my interpretation as well. We went trough a patch mid-season two seasons back where the midfield was gutted by injury and just wasn't able to feed the pointy end with many quality chances. Once we reinforced the midfield, and guys came back from injury, the front men got some quality delivery and started scoring.

It's not always the striker being shit when they aren't scoring. They rely on quality delivery for the majority of their goals. Of course, a quality striker can make something happen out of nothing, but that sort of thing still won't be that common if the midfield isn't delivering.

Hemed is a poor man's Ulloa. Ulloa struggled in the Prem. Hemed would struggle far more. Take away the penalty goals and you start to see the real stats.

Helmed has taken over from Barnes as the top scorer at the Amex. He scores goals in international games, so I think he will be ok in the Prem.
We need all the strikers we can get next season, so why bin off one, for a measly £4M?

 

[Quinney]

Always liked Hemed, great in the air and has some superb touches. £4m is no where near enough to consider selling. Hopefully club will announce he's signed a new contract in next few days.

No, no, no, no, no! Selling him now would be daft - as things stand at present he is one of only three strikers we've got (unless they're planning to break every rule in the Brighton and Hove Albion Absolute Never-to-be-Broken Rule Book, and play teenage strikers (Maguire-Drew or Connolly) up front; which they won't!) - so there can be no question of letting him go until we've got enough new (and improved) forwards in.
If we'd landed Defoe, Abrahams and Brown that might be different, but we haven't, so at the moment Tomer is a vital part of our squad.

 

[Seasidesage]

£4m is probably half his value in this market. We are short of strikers as it is. Reading are pricks, so all in all No

 

[hans kraay fan club]

JMD has gone to Lincoln on a season long loan.

Good summation.

 

[Nixonator]

Hope he is given a chance at least.

 

[Taybha]

Wanky little club

 

[graz126]

when Hemed was called upon if Murray was rested or out for any other reason he never let us down. He was also our top scorer the season before why do so many here underestimate him. He can do a job in the prem even if only as backup. We wont get another striker good enough or as good as for £4m now we are in the prem.

 

[GT49er]

JMD has gone to Lincoln on a season long loan.

So, as I said, they won't (though I'm pretty sure I remember seeing that we had a recall in January clause).

 

[ewe2]

If money could improve the positions then IMO Hemed and Skalak should be replaced for better.

 

[Birdie Boy]

Hell no.. with squad we have at the moment, surely he would be starting against citeh.

We need two more strikers AND keep the one's we have got.

We need at least four strikers. If Hemed is sold then we need to buy two, if not three, new forwards as poor old Sam Baldock has such a poor injury record. The club clearly don't fancy Hemed in the Premier League as he's not been offered a new deal. If he wasn't a starter last season, barring injuries again, no way will he be in the first team next season. He may not even make the bench. Two months have now elapsed and there's still no sign of a new forward. It's becoming increasingly a matter of concern.

We don't know if he has or hasn't been offered a deal.
